For the LAPD, "…By any means necessary," was their calling card. MrScorpio Feb 2013 #4
I didn't want anyone to think that I was defending Dorner AndyA Feb 2013 #6
And I have serious doubts that we'll have a fair accounting of their actions any time soon MrScorpio Feb 2013 #7
Depends on how much the city wants to pay the victims when they file suit. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #40
This wasn't an effort to prevent Dorner from talking pinboy3niner Feb 2013 #5
And woe to anyone who gets in their way, or just happens to kestrel91316 Feb 2013 #8
"Didn't want him to have a chance to talk" Dreamer Tatum Feb 2013 #12
Why the extreme anger? You have your opinion and others have theirs. nm rhett o rick Feb 2013 #48
He killed people? nm treestar Feb 2013 #52
Right. They didn't want him to talk about how much he despised lesbians and his high school teacher. randome Feb 2013 #14
So, you think the LAPD's desire to prevent him from making Facebook posts geek tragedy Feb 2013 #30
You're right there. LAPD was stuck on stupid throughout the manhunt. backscatter712 Feb 2013 #31

Thank you for your response. cyberswede Feb 2013 #55
Sums it up very well. n/t Sekhmets Daughter Feb 2013 #3
You are all correct! SCVDem Feb 2013 #9
And to think, we were all worried about the terrorists… MrScorpio Feb 2013 #15
The article doesn't criticize what they did to Dorner. It criticizes what they did geek tragedy Feb 2013 #17
Why are people still writing articles about it? The credits have rolled on that one. nt EastKYLiberal Feb 2013 #10
Move on MrScorpio Feb 2013 #11
You're right, there is nothing to see here. nt Dreamer Tatum Feb 2013 #13
Dorner may be dead, but the problem of police violence endures. Comrade Grumpy Feb 2013 #27
Because the underlying issue of police abuse of power is much, much bigger than this case n/t markpkessinger Feb 2013 #49
Their conduct towards those people was indefensible and reprehensible. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #16
Which is why I'm sure that they didn't want the Press to witness how they took him down MrScorpio Feb 2013 #18
Or, because in order to witness it you had to be within range geek tragedy Feb 2013 #19
Oh, so that's why they told the news helicopters to leave the area MrScorpio Feb 2013 #21
God in heaven I wish Dorner was white. nt Dreamer Tatum Feb 2013 #22
Well, I don't know what good that would've done MrScorpio Feb 2013 #24
It would have saved about 5000 posts at least Dreamer Tatum Feb 2013 #25
It would have lead to a lot fewer conspiracy theories geek tragedy Feb 2013 #26

Of course the behavior of the LAPD is racist at times. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #29
You mean… MrScorpio Feb 2013 #32
his allegations of racism have nothing to do with how the police geek tragedy Feb 2013 #33
I'm merely recognizing the fact that there were other ex-LAPD who have supported his allegations MrScorpio Feb 2013 #34
You act as if racism allegations against the LAPD depended on his testimony. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #35
Again, the LAPD's response to Dorner's rampage and their subsequent handling of his accusations… MrScorpio Feb 2013 #41
You'll note that I more or less agree with you on the need to investigate the LAPD. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #42
Show me what in the OP prompted your massive verbiage? Noting in it suggests support of Bluenorthwest Feb 2013 #44
Given that I've repeatedly said that the LAPD is the 3rd worst PD in the geek tragedy Feb 2013 #45
Clearing airspace around an armed standoff like this is SOP. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #23
What does that have to do with their opening fire, without warning, on various citizens? Bluenorthwest Feb 2013 #38
How the cops treated Dorner once they had him surrounded and how they geek tragedy Feb 2013 #39
and this thread is about what the cops did to citizens who were not Dorner. One issue. Bluenorthwest Feb 2013 #46
Did you disagree with anything in my first post here? geek tragedy Feb 2013 #47
GT must control all DU discussions on anything related to the LAPD/Dorner case. shcrane71 Feb 2013 #54
Another view SCVDem Feb 2013 #20
Shooting at someone without probable cause is indefensible. Rex Feb 2013 #36
